Was 'X Factor' auditioner Geo Godley naked?

If you watched Wednesday's second hour of "The X Factor," you saw Seattle auditioner Geo Godley drop his trousers and keep right on singing.

For everyone at home, a big X blocked out his seemingly naked private parts.

The stunt caused Paula Abdul to leave the stage and throw up (cameras followed her to the bathroom). Nicole Scherzinger covered her eyes, but took a peek between her fingers. L.A. Reid called the display "disgusting, upsetting and offensive." And Simon just stared.

"I was -- first of all -- shocked, disgusted, offended [and] concerned for the younger kids that were in the audience and their [families] that had to escort them out of the arena," Paula told Access Hollywood during an "X Factor" appearance in New York City on Thursday morning. "It was completely inappropriate ... The fact that he thought that it would be OK to do that is just rather disgusting."

The Parents Television Council has filed an indecency complaint. "Families were led to believe 'The X Factor' would be family-friendly programming and instead were assaulted by graphic nudity," said the group's president, Tim Winter, in a statement. He noted that producers and Fox chose to air "prolonged, previously videotaped footage ... when they knew full well that children would be watching."

But now, it turns out that Geo Godley was not completely naked. Judge Nicole Scherzinger told Ryan Seacrest this morning on his radio show that Godley didn't show "the full banana hammock. He had some tight rainbow thing on."

And Godley tells TMZ he was wearing a G-string. "G-Strings are legal. The PTC have no complaint to make."
